"I just walked out of a courtroom where a 24-year-old girl received two life sentences without the possibility of parole. I remember the first night I actually met her. February 7, 2015.
I arrived at the Starlite Motel about 30 minutes early. Or at least outside the motel. I didn't know how long it might take to get there on a motorcycle. What I had come to see was hard to believe, and was just as likely to be an underage sex sting....

"A moment later, I got a text with her face picture. She was stunning. I was born with a picture of a girl in my head, and that is the picture I had just received in my phone. Assuming it was real. I began to feel bad. Here was a decent and honest person, and I had just tricked her into sending a face picture against her wishes, and under false pretenses, when I had no intention of doing business. Real hooker ads say things like 'N...

"It was an incomprehensible hybrid of a child dressed up in hooker clothes like she was going on 40. She looked like she raided her mother's closet, and dressed up like what she thought a hooker should look like. It had an effect similar to Jodie Foster in "Taxi Driver," but I knew she was too young to have seen that movie."

"This presented an opportunity to be in contact and develop rapport without having to stick my dick in her. So I said I will pay for it. And I sent $1300 through Western Union. And just like that, I had her real name . . . Mandi May Jackson. So I looked her up. And I saw she was 19, which was a relief. Then I saw that she lived on the same street as her father, like 500 feet away. That was a problem."

"So I rented the honeymoon suite and waited. Finally she got there, to talk to me about how she was kidnapped and beaten, and I needed to save her. She looked around the room, and sat on the bed. I said, 'Do you want to talk? Do you want to have sex? Do you want to do one, then the other?'"
In a chapter titled "Revenge of the Pimp," the author begins to enact a plan that will alienate all of Mandi May Jackson's present and future cl...

"Her tone was not fucking around, like a terminal cancer patient in his last month. You would have thought I left her crippled."
In these two chapters, the author finds out a secret that he uses to further isolate and control Mandi. Hatching a crazy plan that couldn't possibly work, he puts his trust in the government that he despises. Does he realize he's the same as the monsters he protects her from?

"Every old guy wanted to have sex with her. Most guys didn't want her to have sex with other guys. Nobody else wanted her to have sex with old guys. And everybody wanted everything kept secret. So she told her high-school friends she was selling drugs, which was a socially acceptable explanation of where her money came from."

Last week we found out that Mandi got arrested in Georgia. In this episode, we learn what happened, as well ...

"When I realized she was about to leave, I couldn't resist. 'How much to fuck you?' She said $500. I said, I don't have it how about $400? She said okay. On that day I got to have sex with the cutest prettiest sexiest hottest most beautiful girl ever born."

David wants you to understand why Mandi didn't see anything wrong with spending money with the deceased Mulrenin's credit cards, and lays out his theories and analysis in great detail in this week's episode.

This chapter seems to lay the groundwork for explaining why everyone is so quick to assume that Mandi May Jackson killed James Mulrenin. In a not-so-clear flashback, David recounts a conversation he has with an employee of Thee Dollhouse about Mulrenin's death and how it was treated by the police who visited the club. Was Mulrenin a predator who forced dancers to go home with him? Or was Mandi a willing visitor to his place that fa...

Arguably our favorite chapter this season, David gives his origin story. Where did the obsession with strippers and strip clubs come from? Why the distaste for sex workers? Was Mandi May Jackson the first girl he ever had sex with? Was she the prettiest, according to him? A lot of groundwork is laid for us to understand the mentality and sometimes odd perspective of our anonymous author.
